Jamie Dixon to TCU

[Ozcuse]

My first calls as the Pitt AD would be to Gregg Marshall at Wichita St. and Archie Miller at Dayton.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Wait, why does Pitt think they can do better than Jamie Dixon?

What in their history suggests they are above what he delivers?

 

[Madbiker]

JB headed to Pittsburgh to drive Dixon to the airport. Yipee.

because Tony Dorsett and "Send it in, Jerome!"

 

[tee1222]

I see all of this as karma for all of his years kicking and hissying, trying his best to get on the court and not stay by the bench, dirty play and all.

Poof. He's now a "horned" frog.

Then they should hire Johnny Majors or Paul Evans.

 

[cuseinseattle]

This is such great news. I mean if you take out the birth of your kids and getting married and all that stuff. What a great week this has been.

 

[Briancuse]

Haha Pitt loses their coach to Tcu.

 

[RoysRunts]

He's as good as gone. Archie goes to Pitt.

Dixon made 3.2 Million How much does Sean make at Arizona

 

[OttoMets]

South Florida hasn't been too happy with him and might be very happy if Pitt took Antigua.

Wow, I hadn't been paying attention to his tenure down there.

OK, Pitt's probably not interested in him.

 

[Francis03]

Francis03 Does Pitt have any commits/ recruits who we might be able to flip? Anyone that may have been our radar?

We never recruited any of their commits, but the one that I assume will attract a lot of attention if he open things up is 3-star guard, Justice Kithcart. He just won a Virginia state chip with Kentucky commit, Sacha Killeya-Jones.

 

[RoysRunts]

We should start a go fund me so TCU can pay him

Pitt Post Gazette says total Buyout 25 Million and TCU says no problem

If nothing else, he has a badass name.

I looked it up on Thursday. He makes just over $3 million.

Boeheim doing backflips

So far, so good to this point! I still think if Pitt wants Archie, he gone. Dayton is a nice job and all, but if you have a chance to coach ACC basketball, you pull that trigger. Same principle goes if they want to try to lure Chris Mack away from Xavier.

 

[rrlbees]

Maybe this is why Hurley turned down Rutgers?

 

[Czar]

Ben Howland isn't leaving Mississippi State. Look at the recruiting class he just pulled in. He has a good set up in a weak league. Now, if Pitt is willing to splash the cash...

 

[Cheriehoop]

In fact I saw someone put Antigua on their hot seat coach list. He'll probably get another year there because they believe that their football coach only improved because they gave him enough time. He's under pressure to get it together and succeed - after getting rid of Skip Holtz at the end of the 2012 season and his replacement Taggert getting to a bowl this year, his 3rd year - Antigua (who replaced Stan Heath) is on the clock in his 3rd year to produce for the basketball program.

 

[Ozcuse]

Ben Jacobson at Northern Iowa is another coach I would take a look at if I was Pitt.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Hasn't Archie Miller turned down better jobs than Pitt?

 

[Cheriehoop]

Hasn't Archie Miller turned down better jobs than Pitt?

He turned down Florida for some reason.

 

[orangenirvana]

Ben Jacobson at Northern Iowa is another coach I would take a look at if I was Pitt.

Yeah his final moments of the 2016 season are just the appropriate level of choke they're looking for in a head coach.

 

[Francis03]

He turned down Florida for some reason.

Word was that his eye was on Indiana, if Crean didn't live up to expectations this season. Obviously that's no longer an option for him now.

I'm sure Kevin Willard at Seton Hall who is a Pitt alum would be interested but he has to be on the C list.
